Chincky shite

[PHILinFRANCE]

If anyone's interested,  I've bought a CF450MT,  straight from paddy field land.

 

PROS......Fecking cheap

 

CONS....... Bugger all ...we'll maybe the tyres

Truth is I really can't fault it off the shelf , one or two bits need that personal touch coz I ride like a twat

1...rally seat

2...better sump guard 

3...better hand guards 

4... rash bars

5....and tyres 

If you haven't tried a chincky special its really worth a try

I have looked at them , dealer a few km away , its 9500 $ here in Canada, I hate to admit it , but at my age , the old ktm is to much to handle on dirt roads...this would something id be interested in....just curious how they'll hold up to in the coming years...

The fit & finish on my CFMoto 650Tr (2014 model) was very good, nothing corroded, rusted or fell off!  

After 5 years of ownership it stood as good as the day I bought it.

But it was let down by the shitty Ducati Veglia electrics. It only lived on for 6 months (dodged that bullet ) after the new owner acquired it from me, I think it has gone to the scrappers now, no sign of it on the DVLA website.

But buying another CFMoto would not worry me (not like I can afford one ) in the slightest.

I've been following the Aussies testing them, and these boys sure know how to push a bike to the limits. they don't seem to break , I've only done 1000kms or so maybe 50kms of road (needs better tyres) there's a slight choppieness on anc off the throttle but almost cured with a 15t front sprocket, bloody beautiful on road ,proper chuckable,  sits proper happy at 110kph with enough guts to wind up to 140, even though when sat on it the bike feels wide but on the pegs its lost from view and the standard suspension eats up the firt ....OK its not WP but does the. 

Once I get some better tyres ill push it harder in the woods to test its limits and defo taking it to the Pyrenees,  ohh yes it has around 400km tank range

That's good to know...keep us updated when you can about the bike...

Will do, its a personal thing but after Christmas ill be upgrading the clutch  getting crash bars , solid sump guard, acerbis hand guards, airbox upgrade and tyres and possibly a full aftermarket exhaust system
